Commercial only. AACI-designated. CUSPAP-compliant.
A real estate appraisal company produces an independent, written opinion of a property's market value for a stated purpose and date, signed by a designated appraiser and relied on by lenders, courts, tribunals, the CRA and the people who hire it. In Ontario the designation that covers every property type is the AACI; the CRA designation is limited to residential property of up to four units.
Aion works on commercial property only. If you need a house, a condominium or a duplex, triplex or fourplex appraised, use the Appraisal Institute of Canada's Find an Appraiser directory and choose a CRA or AACI appraiser near the property. We will say so on the phone too, so you do not lose a day.
